It slowly, step by step, disappears. They have changed company name. No more internet sites with Pentax name ("Pentax Imaging" became "Ricoh Imaging"). The new compact HZ15 looks like ex Optio. Green ring was kind of Pentax trademark, the red one looks like on Ricoh A12 lenses. There was "Pentax" inscription on DA Ltd's barrels, near the mount, which is now removed on these new HD DA Ltds.
Anyway, I like the Pentax concept, not the name by itself. If it will remain, there is not a big difference what exactly name is engraved.
